A poem is a piece of writing that partakes of the nature of both speech and song that is nearly always rhythmical, usually metaphorical, and often exhibits such formal elements as meter, rhyme, and stanzaic structure.

And if you write, write with passion.
Forget the audience
And the possible crowd reaction;
Discard the tempting need
To impress anyone but yourself.
Pour your heart out and tell your story
With honesty and spontaneity.
Purge the demons that plague you;
String each word with fire.

Waiting for the boss to call
Is like anticipating the ax to fall;
It’s horrendously cringe-worthy
And wrought with worry–
And yet, inevitable.
You wish and you wish;
But then, arghhhh!
He appears on your screen.

She wrote him a letter,
Expounding on the many reasons
Of why she could no longer handle
His tender presence in her life;
She poured all her grievances,
Pinpointing a myriad of his awfuls
That caused her heart to break;
She castigated him for several things,
Long-held pinioned to her ribs;
In fact, her epistle turned out
To be several pages long–
A point-by-point shout-out of pain.
Then, he appeared by her side,
Embracing her as he offered her
A single, scarlet rose of perfection,
And she hastily covered her missive
As she faced him with a smile;
Her carefully planned goodbye
Set aside, once again, and forgotten,
Gratefully bestowing him
Yet another chance.
